ive been informed my son will be needing a laptop for his summer educational program (mom and Granma set this up im clueless)

If any one of you might have an old laptop not in use and care to donate or offer up very cheaply plz let me know,

what im lookin for is something in the 1.8 to 2 ghz, working DVD/CD drive. wifi builtin would be a plus and simpler for him but i can get a USB dongle if need be.

thanks for any help you guys might be able to give.

You can contact me via email as its checked nightly

Blueknyt@hotmail.com

thanks again

I have an old IBM Thinkpad - but I don't think it meets your requirements. It's a pretty old machine.

Also, some of the keys (if I remember it is the Backspace & S keys) are missing on the keyboard - right now it's just a 'backup' around the house and it doesn't have built in wireless :(

If you're really in a bind and just need SOMETHING - you're welcome to it.

i know he needs to run XP at min. DVD/CD drive. and will need wifi.. if i need, i can get a usb wifi dongle but wanna try and make this as turn key as posible for him. i wont be near by to administer it in person (he and mom are going to her mothers 6 hrs north of me for a summer vacation/school) in truth the less he has to plug in and unplug, the less he likely to break something. he is a console kid, just stating to get him into the PC but he still doesn't know how to close windows/tabs and end up with 20 of them still open when he calls me for help

thanks for the offer though wells

stone i sent a PM
